The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1887-02-09
A Notable Wedding.

Marriage bells on the evening of Febru-
airy I'd. All they have made music in the
city of Aberdeen, filling two souls, Miss
SALLIE BEE HOLIDAY and Mr.. L. J.
McQUIsToN, with bliss and harmony and
finding responsive chord in the hearts of
their many friends, who had assembled at
the Methodist Episcopal Church to witness
the impressive ceremony, performed by
Rev. MIR. Dye.
Miss Montgomery presided at the organ,
and as the sweet, sad strains of Mendels-
shon's Wedding March pealed forth, the
bridal party were introduced by the ushers
the dignifed and popular DIR. Sale and
Mr.. Sims.
The graceful and beautiful Miss Terrell
led, followed by Misses Troupe, Rucker,
Evans, Green, Niche, Dancy, Bailey and
Houston. Then came the gentlemen, Messrs.
Cutrer Green, Strong, Cunningham, Holder,
Houston and Buck, who took their stand
by their respective queens of beauty and
loveliness.
The handsome groom entered leaning on
the arm OF DIR. Paine. Then came the
bride supported by her brother, looking as
lovely as poets dream, beneath the airy
folds of her bridal veil.
| As she passed under the wish-bone OF
natural flowers, and they stood under an
umbrella of roses, over-arched by a rain
| bow, silent prayer of good wishes assembled
| that their life might be typical of the
same, and that Gods smiles might dispense
the storms should they ever approach and
encircle the pathway with the wings of
His eternal show of promise"
| The same little girl, jamie Carter, that
scattered the flowers as the bride passed up
the aisle, tilted the golden slipper of rice
on the heads of tie newly made husband
and wife, and the gorgeous pageant faded.
| A very elegant reception was held at the
home of the bride. 1t is seldom that such
a vision of loveliness greets mortal eyes as
the bride presented, standing under the
marriage bell at her home receiving the
/ congratulations of friends.
We would like to linger over the we'd
ding supper-more fit for gods than NOR.
